Saving Payment Information in Stripe
Your TRYTN account provides an option for you to save your customers' payment information within your Stripe account. To find this setting, navigate to Settings > Payment Information. Expand Stripe Payment Gateway Settings by clicking the green + (plus sign). This will reveal a checkbox labeled Save customer payment information within Stripe. Select this option and then Save Changes.
Pre-Authorizations in Stripe
Pre-auths are easy in Stripe. After a purchase is made through TRYTN, the customer along with their credit card info is available in Stripe to create a pre-authorization. From your Stripe account, go to Payments and click Payment, then click Customer Name > Actions > Create Payment and select Authorize Only.
Incomplete Payments in Stripe (Payment intents)
An incomplete payment refers to any payment intent that is created but not finalized, resulting in a status of incomplete in Stripe's system. This can happen for several reasons, including:
- Payment details not entered: The customer starts the checkout process, triggering a payment intent, but never enters their payment information (e.g., card details) and abandons the checkout.
- Checkout abandonment: The customer initiates the payment process but leaves the page before completing it.
- Failure to complete authentication: For methods requiring additional steps, like 3D Secure, the customer doesn't complete the authentication process.
- Other interruptions: Any scenario where the payment intent is created (e.g., when the checkout page loads with Stripe’s Payment Element) but the transaction isn’t completed.
In Stripe, especially with the PaymentElement, a payment intent is often created as soon as the checkout form is loaded, even before the customer enters any details. If they don't proceed, the payment remains "incomplete." These incomplete payments appear in the Stripe dashboard under the Payments section, marked as "Incomplete," and no funds are charged or transferred. They’re useful for tracking user behavior, like abandoned carts, but don’t represent failed or declined payments—just transactions that were never fully executed.
Test Mode
When test mode is enabled you will be able to make purchases using ‘test’ card numbers. Your activity's capacity will be impacted. When in test mode you will not be able to accept ‘live’ payments. Transaction made in test mode will have '-TEST' at the end of the transaction identifier. Example test card numbers: 4242424242424242. Enter any 3 digits for the CVC and any future date for the expiration date.
When test mode is enabled dashboard will only show test transactions, if not enabled, the dashboard will only show live transactions.
When test mode is disabled, you can proceed with actual payments through TRYTN. Disable test mode when TRYTN links are live.
Go to Settings > Payment Information
Dispute Packet
A dispute, sometimes called a chargeback, happens when a cardholder contests a payment with their card issuer. Unfortunately, customer chargebacks/disputes happen with any payment processor, but TRYTN and Stripe provide tools for increasing your chances of winning a counter dispute.
If you have to counter a dispute, follow the steps below:
- Stripe provides guidance for countering disputes with banks, but ultimately it is the bank’s decision.
- TRYTN provides a dispute packet to gather information about the transaction to counter the dispute in Stripe. To find the dispute packet within your TRYTN account, go to the transaction details page.
- Contact Stripe Support to voice a concern. They are available by call back, chat or email (call back and chat typically respond within 3 minutes).

Creating a Cancellation Policy
To create or edit your business's cancellation policy, simply navigate to Settings > Payment Information to find the Cancellation Policy field. From here, you can either copy and paste an existing cancellation policy from another document or website, or create a new one using the formatting tools provided for this text field.
When you have completed the entry of your cancellation policy, you have the option to require buyers to agree to this policy/policies at checkout by selecting the checkbox provided.
Be sure to click the Save Changes button before exiting the page to ensure your updates are saved.
Informing Customers of Your Cancellation Policy
Your shop's cancellation policy is automatically included in your customers' confirmation emails. However, you also have the option to add your cancellation policy during the checkout process.
Adding Your Cancellation Policy at Checkout
When a customer is about to make a purchase, you can get extra assurance that they are aware of your cancellation policy by requiring them to check the "accept terms" box. This can be selected as part of your payment settings under Settings > Payment Information (checkbox outlined below).
